ps: Thank you for the reward, Brother Xinxiongshengcheng. Also, I’m sorry that I have to go on a business trip to Kunming tomorrow, so I don’t have time to type. I can only go back to Beijing on Friday, so I’m asking for leave from everyone.
In front of Jingxiang, Yuan Xiangxian of course couldn't swallow the lie he just told, so he had to report back that the soldiers he recruited were not in Wei County and could not be seen this time. I was afraid he would disappoint Jingxiang. High quality
Update is coming
Jingxiang said it didn't matter, he wasn't afraid of going further, it was just a little harder. Anyway, he had already gone north, so it wouldn't be a big deal to walk a little further. Jingxiang also said that he was going to personally review the soldiers from Hebei recruited by Yuan Xiang.
Look at the conditions of these Hebei warriors as a reference for your next step in formulating your Hebei strategy.
Yuan Xiang opened his mouth and murmured for a long time, and then said that his recruit camp was located in Liyang, where he faced off against the Lulong Army. It was a frontline battlefield and very dangerous.
Jiang Xuanhui also saw that something was wrong with Yuan Xiangxian's expression. He knew the whole story and knew at a glance that Yuan Xiangxian was telling lies. He and Yuan Xiangxian were in the same boat, and of course they couldn't watch the joke from the side, so he also suggested to Jingxiang
He said that the place was too dangerous. My husband had high hopes from the King of Liang and he could not allow his rich son to stand under a dangerous wall.
Jingxiang also saw that these two people did not want him to go to Liyang, but he misunderstood. He thought that they were afraid that he would be in danger, so Wen Yan said that he went to Liyang not only to see the status of the recruitment of new soldiers, but also to see the situation by the way.
Only by looking at the combat power of the Lulong Army can we formulate a realistic Hebei strategy.
Before Jiang Xuanhui could be stopped, Jingxiang asked displeasedly, didn't Jiang's soldiers and horses have the confidence to protect his own safety? Could it be that Jiang's soldiers and horses feared the enemy like a tiger?
Once this hat was put on him, Jiang Xuanhui no longer dared to persuade him.
It was a hard journey from Bianzhou to the north. Jingxiang went to rest after entering the county government office in Wei County. Yuan Xiangxian and Jiang Xuanhui were also very tired, but the two brothers had no time to rest, so they held an emergency meeting to discuss how to solve this problem.
Question. High-quality updates are here
Things are often like this. After you tell a lie, you have to make up for it with more lies. This is a dead end and there is no way. Unless Yuan Xiang plays bachelor with Jiang Xuanhui first, he will confess his mistake to Jingxiang at all costs.
Everything, otherwise they will inevitably fall into this knot.
Jiang Xuanhui asked Yuan Xiang first what was the current situation in Hebei, so Yuan Xiang pointed to the map and explained the actual situation in each place one by one. Jiang Xuanhui couldn't help but take a breath. He complained, how did he get to this point? Then he said, Yuan Xiang
First of all, aren't you stupid? Liyang is clearly occupied by the Lulong Army, so you insist on saying that the new recruit camp is located in Liyang?
Yuan Xiang first said, isn't there no way? After all, Liyang is in the north and belongs to the "warring" area. I originally wanted to use this reason to stop Jingxiang, but who would have thought that Jingxiang, a civil servant, is not afraid of death? What if the recruit camp is located in Weizhou?
In the area controlled by Xuanwu in the south, wouldn't it be even more important to respect the prime minister?
Jiang Xuanhui then asked about the specific details of the closure of the Shenzhou Mutual Market and what to do with his grain after it was brought over. Yuan Xiang first took out the "arrears agreement" and said that Lulong promised to use this thing as payment for the goods.
Jiang Xuanhui stared and said, Yuan Xiangxian, have you lost your mind? You sold the grain to Lu Longjun for giving them a white slip? We, the Jiang family, will never do this kind of thing!
Yuan Xiang said first, what else should we do? Can you ask someone to take the food back?
Xuanwu's merchants went to Shenzhou Mutual Market to do business, and if they just sold grain, they actually didn't make much money. Because people ate horse chews on the way back, which consumed a lot of money, so it was not cost-effective to return with an empty cart.
Therefore, merchants must bring back a batch of specialties outside the customs from Shenzhou to ensure sufficient profits. Now that the Shenzhou Mutual Market is closed, the specialties outside the customs are gone, and they themselves are not making much. If they bring back the grain they brought back, this will
It's such a loss, so it definitely won't work.
Jiang Xuanhui is also a sensible person. Hearing Yuan Xiang's first question, he couldn't help but feel frustrated and didn't know what to do, but he didn't want these "igots" either. High-quality updates are here
Yuan Xiang first smiled and said that if Brother Jiang didn't want it, he could sell the "arrears agreement" to him.
Jiang Xuanhui said strangely, do you trust Lu Long that much? Do you believe they will fulfill the contract?
Yuan Xiang first said that after working in the mutual market for such a long time, Lu Long was still very trustworthy. He also praised Han Yanhui, saying that this friend was very open and completely trustworthy.
Jiang Xuanhui took the "arrears agreement" with suspicion and looked at it carefully. Then he keenly saw the words on it that said the agreement could be exchanged for salt directly, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Yuan Xiang first said with a smile, Brother Jiang, do you understand now? Brother Jiang said hey, I understand, I understand.
Yuan Xiang first said that we, the two brothers, should take good control of this huge profit, and we must not stop it here. As long as we can fool the Prime Minister back, we will still have a lot of money in the future.
Jiang Xuanhui nodded in agreement, but he pointed out that the most urgent task at hand is how to deal with the "review" of the Prime Minister. How many soldiers does your old Yuan have?
Yuan Xiang spread his hands and said that there were only a thousand soldiers from Songzhou who came to Hebei with him, and many were lost in Weizhou City. Now they are less than 700. If he mobilized troops from Songzhou, it would take more than half a month at the fastest.
, it was definitely too late. Yuan Xiang first asked Jiang Xuanhui, how many troops and horses did you bring this time? Can you borrow two or three thousand for use first?
Jiang Xuanhui shook his head and said that he had brought five thousand guards and horses. The Prime Minister knew this number. He wanted to lead troops to protect the Prime Minister when he went to Liyang. It would be difficult to fool him. Moreover, the soldiers he brought were all Bianzhou soldiers, and they all spoke with a Henan accent.
, Respecting a person is the most delicate thing. If he chatted with the soldiers during the review, wouldn't that be exposed?
At this time, Xuanwu still controlled the western parts of Xing, Ming, Xiang, Wei and other states. There were also troops stationed in these places. The troops in Xingzhou and Mingzhou were too far away and it was too late to mobilize them. So Yuan Xiang first asked if Brother Jiang could take Xiangzhou and
Soldiers from Weizhou were transferred to help.
Jiang Xuanhui said that it was definitely not possible. These troops were all soldiers of He Delun and Zhang Guihou. You Yuan Xiangxian's Hebei Recruitment Army could not control it, nor could I, the Bianzhou Army Envoy, control it. Moreover, the most critical issue was that Liyang was now occupied by Lu Long's army.
, after you move the troops here, how do you let them go?
Yuan Xiang first said that there was no problem. It was Li Xiaoxi who was stationed in Liyang, and what Li Xiaoxi led was not the real Lu Long Army. He told Jiang Xuanhui about the system of Youyan Security Corporation, and finally said that Li Xiaoxi had dealt with him himself and was very familiar with it.
, as long as you say something, he will definitely cooperate with you.
Jiang Xuanhui was surprised after hearing this and murmured, Hebei people really know how to do business, they can even think of this kind of way to make a living...
Yuan Xiangxian proudly said that Hebei people are very good at doing business, and they are very trustworthy in business. It should not be difficult for him to spend a sum of money to rent Liyang City from Li Xiaoxi for two or three days. In addition, he and Lu Long's minister Han Yanhui are also very good at it.
If you have a relationship, talk to Han Yanhui and it will be done.
Jiang Xuanhui was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and asked Yuan Xiangxian, could he still spend money to rent the city? Then let's rent Liyang first and not return it to Lu Long.
Yuan Xiang said awkwardly, I'm afraid this is not good, it is too dishonest to do this, and we still have a lot of "arrears agreements" in hand. If you don't pay Li Yang back, they won't pay you back. Besides, Li Yang
What are we doing in such a small county town?
Jiang Xuanhui said that was true, and then he suddenly looked strange and asked Yuan Xiangxian, since he could spend money to rent Liyang, could he spend more money to rent Li Xiaoxi's Youyan Security Company?
Yuan Xiangxian immediately realized it, pointed at Jiang Xuanhui and said, Brother Jiang is really the reincarnation of Zhuge!
…
Jingxiang rested for two days in Wei County. Once he recovered from fatigue, he proposed to go to Liyang for a military parade.
Yuan Xiangxian and Jiang Xuanhui were not ready yet, so they decided not to let him go now, so Yuan Xiangxian said that Li Yang was not ready yet and it would take a few more days; Jiang Xuanhui also said that the escort troops and horses he brought were not ready to send troops.
Liyang belongs to the battlefield, and you have to march to Liyang in a combat state. Military mobilization, troop rewards, and food, grass and baggage also take time to complete.
After a few more days of delay, Yuan Xiangxian and Jiang Xuanhui informed Jingxiang that they could set off. So the army set off and headed for Liyang. Liyang was less than forty miles away from Wei County. Jingxiang left Wei County early in the morning and arrived before dark.
Entered Liyang City Gate.
Stay overnight in Liyang City, and the next day go to the military field to "watch the military." Liyang is not big. It was a large granary in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. Later, its military function of transporting supplies gradually disappeared, and the city was also lost.
It had strategic significance. When Wei Bo established the town, Liyang was used as a military stronghold for confrontation with the imperial court because it was adjacent to Henan Road. The granary in the city was converted into a military camp, with a small military field in the middle.
Although the school military field is not large, it can accommodate two to three thousand people for exercises, but it is not suitable for practicing formation changes.
Jingxiang stood on the military parade platform and looked at the densely packed "new recruits" standing in the school military field. He couldn't help but sigh to Yuan Xiangxian and Jiang Xuanhui: "Hebei has always produced brave soldiers, and the quality of the soldiers is very high. Now I can see that they are worthy of the name. These
The soldiers are majestic and strong, and they look like soldiers who have fought on the battlefield. They are powerful and can be considered elites!"
Jiang Xuanhui joked: "Hebei was the first town to be established, and it has been 150 years. During this period, fighting and conquests have never stopped. Most of the soldiers are rangers, from general families, and there are many miscellaneous people from outside the customs. They are indeed excellent soldiers.
.It’s just that if you don’t practice well, you won’t be able to compete with us when we form a formation.”
Jingxiang could also see clearly that these soldiers were good soldiers when taken out one by one, but when they were arrayed on the stage, the formation was not neat and the queues were sparse. Jiang Xuanhui was right. So Jingxiang said to Yuan Xiangxian
: "The prince has longed for the soldiers of Hebei for a long time. Since the beginning of the campaign in Hebei, he has had the idea of collecting the soldiers of Hebei for his own use. It is a pity that Hebei has not been integrated. Now is the beginning. Yuan Zhaofeng still needs to work hard and study hard.
It’s about training them.”
Yuan Xiang bowed first and replied: "I respectfully obey the Prime Minister's military order!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
